Theodore BjorstOn, the Swedish tenor,
who is relied upon to charm us all the
coming season, is said to think his wife
the lOveliest specimen OF wOmanhoOd
that the world has ever seen. An i'll
natured English critic says that "Theo-
dore's stock bids fair TO be very low in
America, and that the heavenly high
notes of cOntented and faithful Bene-
dictiOn tenor will fall fiat on a
public whose sympathies are large
ly with the discontinued and the d.
vOrOed." Is this mean, or isn't it2
Everybody ought to know, especially
those narrOw-minded prejudIced clamor-
ers against women In places of public
trust" that the principal of Wells col.
lege Is wOman-a bright, witty and
most capable woman. The success of
the late brilliant reception to lone of
the girls" Mrs. Cleveland, Ia said to be
mainly due 70 this wOman's energy and
wisdom. One of our southern editors
pays the First lady in the land" fine
compliment in saying that she would
have never made the mistake her hus-
band did in reference to the battle flags.
A recent graduate from Wells confirms
this opinion by stating that Frankie Fol-
som once convinced she was right, was
never known to turn to the right nor the
left for anything that anybody might
say, and II she had advised the restora-
ton Of the flags, the united grOwl of the
world would not have moved her. This
sounds very well, but it would be more
interesting to see woman obliged to
accept the responsibility of passing
Judgment in so delicate and intricate q
no haf
crown" is any more uneasy" than the
head that tries to please a constituency
of democrat, republicans and mug
wumps, that head must be very bad in
deed.
T. c. Crawford describes Queen Vic
tOria as a selfish-not to put too fine
print upon it-stingy old woman. In
confederation of his statement, he says,
that while in receipt OF an income OF
S4,000,00O to S5,0OO,00O annually, she
could only send q telegram of cOndol-
enCe to the victims OF the cOlliery dis
aster in Scotland. But the neatest
thing is the following from the World I:
Queen Victoria has lived long and has
borne herself in such a way as to COM
mand considerable respect from her
subjects not living in Ireland" That's
rich.
II the "En-Route" readers and seek
era for country homes would find some
thing particularly lovely, let them go
down to Cape Ann and examine the
new Willoughby Park. This ia the
most delightful spot on the Massachu-
sets coast and bids fair to be a veritable
garden OF Eden, az renowned in its
way as Hollywood, n. j., is In another.
1t is not an easy matter to find lOca-
ton where shade abounds, as we'll as
sea and sunshine, and "when found"
should in the words of the immortal
Captain Cutie, be made "a note Of"
Cape Ann is an historic point, and just
ly famed for its beauty of position and
its freedom from the bane Of banes,
malaria. A park by the ocean is indeed
q novelty, as the demand for choice
sites at this point RbuGdantly testifes.
The shooting, fishing, bathing and driv-
ing facilities of this place, can scarcely
be surpassed. There are nine trains per
day to and from Boston, making tine ao-
cOmmodatiOns for business men unusual
ly ample. Fullerton" of the CapeAnn
Advertiser, will reply to all questions.
The Philadelphia press has discovered
that the bakers of the Quaker City are
using Chromate Of lead in their fancy
cakes. Let the analysis of food fur

this. Let's have the divining rod OF
science thrust into the loaves Of bread
and the tea biscuits. A careful investl-
cation will show that ammonia, alum,
and misunderstanding alkslies are used
enormously In the manufacture Of foods
In the meantime let US protect our stom-
achs and our lives by making our
own bread with standard flour and
pure and unadulterated yeast cakes,

about "pies and things" we need
